Georgia appeals court says it will take into account Trump's attempt to get DA Fani Willis removed from the case involving electoral tampering.

The attempt by Donald Trump and his co-defendants to remove District Attorney Fani Willis from the 2020 election subversion case will be taken into consideration by the Georgia Court of Appeals.

The court stated in a succinct order on Wednesday that it will consider Trump and others' appeal contesting Judge Scott McAfee's decision to permit Willis to continue working on the case.

The decision to review the appeal is another indication that efforts are being made in the pre-trial stages to postpone a trial; no trial date has been set in the vast election subversion conspiracy case against Trump.  Trump's trial on the improper handling of sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago club was postponed indefinitely by a federal court in Florida on Tuesday. Additionally, the Supreme Court has not yet made a decision about Trump's claims of complete immunity for his acts as president, a matter that has put a halt to the federal trial of charges related to January 6, 2021.

Regarding the injunction, Willis' office declined to comment.  Steve Sadow, the attorney for Trump, stated that the former president is eager to make interlocutory arguments to the Georgia Court of Appeals regarding the dismissal of the case and the disqualification of Fulton County DA Willis for her actions in this unjustified and unwarranted political persecution.  Following a quasi-trial in which the lawyers representing Trump and his co-defendants attempted to establish their case against Willis and her prosecutor, Nathan Wade, the presiding Fulton County judge ultimately determined that Willis would be permitted to continue leading the case in the event that Wade resigned.

McAfee concluded that there was no evidence to conclusively demonstrate Willis profited monetarily from her relationship with Wade, who, according to defense lawyers, paid for multiple trips for the couple. In her testimony, Willis stated that she reimbursed Wade for the costs in cash.

Willis "has covered herself and her office in scandal and disrepute, as she has wasted her credibility and repeatedly and flagrantly breached the heightened ethical standards demanded of her position," according to Trump and several co-defendants in an appeal filed a few weeks after McAfee's decision.
